Child abuse and trauma: Bodies, brains and recovery

Peta Murcutt and Louise Newman both work at the coalface in terms of understanding how best to support children who have experienced trauma or abuse.

We want these children to have the best chance to grow into healthy adults and to understand how to help these children do that, we need to better understand what trauma can do to a child and their development.

This program was recorded at an event hosted by The Benevolent Society at the State Library of NSW, part of a series of discussions to mark the 200th anniversary of Australia's oldest charity.
